Question
Evan Vinson –
Have you considered using the improved soft shackle splicing technique? It’s how I make mine. I find it is much safer and stronger without the risk of possibly becoming untied.

Any plans to make these in 7/64 as an option for connecting the whoopie sling to the CL on the hammock without relying on a lark’s head?

Purchased a set for another system for my tarp. They are a little slick with the coating and my lash it but a couple more wraps should take care of it. Thanks Dutch!
